vacuum skin packaging

The Rfresh Evolve® rigid vacuum skin packaging range from LINPAC helps retailers maximise shelf appeal and display key product information.

The trays are manufactured with a variety of label panel designs, which allow pack information to be displayed separately to the product, something traditional vacuum skinned packs do not allow. Using pre-formed trays for skin packaging has provided an opportunity for LINPAC to transform the shelf presence and overall look and feel of meat, fish and poultry packaging.

Packers and retailers are growing increasingly aware of the benefits that vacuum skin packaging brings, extended shelf-life, reduced food waste, supply chain efficiency and increased sales.

The new Rfresh Evolve range from LINPAC offers customers three application styles, normal (below the flange protrusion), protruding (slightly above the flange protrusion) and super-protruding (high protrusion above the flange).

Packs are available in mono PET, PET/PE, Barrier PP and Barrier EPS for all current tray designed tray sealing machinery. Most recently, LINPAC has led the way for the industry to move to fully recyclable rigid rPET tray designs for rigid skin packaging, which helps retailers maximise shelf appeal through improved shingling and stacking.

Manufactured with up to 95% supercleaned rPET, LINPAC is able to provide creative designs incorporating innovative colours, shapes, labelling options and environmental credentials.
